Everyday, there are debates and discussion everywhere about Hijab, beard, Muslim garb etc. We need to put an end to this by focusing our discussion on the issue. I hope, we can get the Shura council and Imams sign a declaration to put an end to this conflict. Let these be one’s personal choice and not religiously mandated. 
1.
Modesty is Islamic2. Hijab and its formats are cultural and personal
3. The form of Hijab is woman’s choice
4. There shall be no compulsion in what one wears
5. There is no such thing as Muslim Garb
6. Beard is not a requirement
7. Headgear is not a requirement
8. There is no such thing as a Muslim Name
9. Being Amin is a requirement
